A Wellington homeowner awoken by a landslide crashing through her kitchen window a year ago is still battling to get her insurer to pay even a cent towards the huge costs of re-building a wrecked retaining wall.
Vero says it doesn't need to offer a payout because its assessment for a like-for-like repair on the decades-old wall falls below what EQC is covering.
Last winter's persistent, heavy rain caused hundreds of slips across the Capital - almost 700 in seven weeks, resulting in nearly 300 land claims.
